Thanks for all the input. One thing is still a bit hazy. There seems to be a loose use of the word "devalued" without clear examples of such and the interpretation is different from member to member. Could any of you that used this word please add to the input? Thanks. Note, if an award level is raised, is that devaluation of the entire program vs. additional benefits such as expanded alliances, etc. which might tend to balance things out. Is there any sense of 'added value' to these programs or so you always view things as being devalued? Curious questions to round out the research. Again, thanks.
